My friend wants to upgrade his old PC. I had a look for 4x 2gb ram. I just want to know if these on eBay are legitimate and I'll get the capacity advertised. Anyone got experience with this?
Check if his machine is intel or AMD first.
There are certain (very popular) high density DDR2 modules that only work on AMD machines.
Make sure the RAM speed is supported by the mobo.

I recently upgraded my DDR2 from 2x1GB to 4x2GB, but I bought it from Newegg.

I just go around neighbourhoods and look for old computers kicked to the curb - literally - and harvest the parts. Generally, the RAM and CPU are perfectly fine. Hell you can use the whole thing. Nothing beats free.

I bought some of those a long time ago on ebay to keep a Phenom rig running smoothly. It worked fine.
ddr2 anything isnt really worth the cost of power unless its free
